    Unknown part - Taigen Tiger 1 Mid

    Hi guys, picked up a Tiger 1 Mid and I am scratching my head on this piece of wire in the parts bag, approx 3" long. Any of you know what this is for?

    Looks like a torsion bar.

      I went through my Tiger parts box and found one too. It was quite thin. I peaked through the hole and checked the base of the tank. I noticed that the torsion bar of the tank was thicker and stronger than the piece we have here. So maybe we should email Imex and ask

        Rubicon99, thanks. It certainly does look like one, but I have never received any spare torsion bar with my other Taigens/Torros. Oh well, once I put it away, I will probably never find it again, especially when I need it.

          It looks like the Airsoft barrel recoil linkage from the barrel to servo.
